A Woman the Recipient of Governor Thayer's First Pardon—Indicting the Train Wreckers—The Banguet of the T, 1 [FIOM THE DEE'S LISCOLY nUREAT.| The report of the commissioner of public lands and buildings, one of the most important reports submitted bien- nially to the state, ha fter vexatious delays, come from the handsof the print ers and is ready for the use and guidance of the legislators. The report is a lengthy one, but it is a complete and ac curately compilea report of the busicst office at the state house, The commis sloner's report of school lands shows that at the time of the last report the state had in common school lands a total Thiswas on November here have been deeded to pur- chasers in tho two years to November 80, 1896, 85,008 acres, loaving at the present time in which the state yet holds the title a total of 2,627,931 acres. The num- ber of acres of school land leased in the last past two years shows a to of 285,- 728 acres leased in sixty-two diffierent counties in the state, Keith county show- ing the greatest number of acres leased, Frontier county sccond in the list, with Brown county a close third, The small- est ‘number of acres leased in any one county comes from Nemaha, with a ten- acre tract. There were in the past two years 11,973 acres sold at public sale m twelve different counties on which there was paid av the time of sale $11,048. and on which there remains yet unpaid $107,824.83. During this time there has been sold at private sale 123,141 acres of land, upon which has been realized $113,243.85 und the deferred payments on these sales aggregates §813,365.48. Inthe past two years there reverted to the state 62,960 acres from defaults in lease contracts and sales. The table of lands under lease and sale that are delinquent in payments more than one year shows that there is due the state on these de- linquencies about §30,000. There are now in the state according to the commissioners report 91 acres under lease, having an appraised valuation upon which rental is collected of $2,012,215 15, There are in the state at the present report 498,045 chool land und brings to the state an anuu on payments deferred of $20 the wtal amount of cash received in the past two years on final payments for which decds were 1ssued §056,222.04, 85,608 acres passing from the control ot the state to purchiascrs on these pay- ments, ‘The state at this biennial report owns in agricultural college lands that are lo- ented in Burt, Cedar, Cuming, Dakota, Dixon, Pierce and Wayne counties a total of 88,600 acres, only 480 acres of these lands n:!uimfi from the state i the two{unrs. Nine thousand acres of ag- rioultural college lands wero leased in the two years, and 5,500 ncres of theso lands located in Cedar, Dixon, Knox and Wayne counties reverted to the state in that time. The principal on sales, inter- est on leases, annual interest on sales of agricultural lands has amounted in the two vears covered by the report to 000, Tle statements of umversity and nor- mal school lands show the same ratio practically of sales, reccipts, ete., for the years covered by the report, the princi- val on sales in the time, interost on lenses and annual rentals on university lands amounting in round numbers in the two years to $30,000. The récapitulation of all the state lands show that the amount of land owned by the state on the 1st of December, 1886, was, combining the totals of common school lands, agricultural college lands, university lands, normal school lands saline lands and penitentiary, a grand total of 2,786,527 acres, a heritage of wealth to the educational interests of Ne- braska unparalleled in the history of any other state in the union. PARDONED FOR THE BARY, Yesterday Governor Thayer issued the papers for the pardon of Néllie Dankart, sentenced to the penitentinry from Custer county lust Juno on tho charge of bigamy. The following statement of Governor Thayer is furnished for pub- lication: “ExE 08, TIvE OFFICE, Lixcory, Neb,, | imuary 24, 1857, | “In the matter of the application of Nellie Dankart. “It appears that she was convieted at tle June term, 1536, of the district court in_Cus- ter county of bigamy, and sentenced by Judge K.

There was no police court yesterday morning, not one arrest having been made the two previousdays. The apathy, however, was broken during the day and before nmoon two dranken men were lodged behind the bars The policemen of Lineoln are in favor of financial reform in the city, They at present get the large salary of 860 a month in city greenbacks that they huve to disconnt 20 per centin order to get the cash.

Descending to the door a messenger gave him the follow- ing note: 36 Huron hasten here, fear she Street—Dea Our Florene a very severe Doctor: Please is very il We attack” of diph- theria, Despite the extreme cold weather and howling wind it required only a moment to cause the doctor to determine to do his duty. Dressing bimself with all baste possible he hurried around to 535 Huron street. Upon entering the house Lo was greeted by a cho- rus of yelps from a lot of pug dogs. A young Iady with tear-stained eyes came forward to meet him. “Oh, doctor.” sho said, “I am so giad you have come. Poor, dear Florence Is ery ill. “*Well, take me to her at oncs.” replied the doctor, *“Dipntheria is not diflicult to con- trol if taken hold of in time.” With that the voung lady bezan chasing the dogs around the room, and at last caught the very ugliest pug in the lot and brought it in her arms to the now thoroughly bewildered physician, ‘“ere she is, doctor. little Florence. doctor?” ‘The man of medicine was by this time almost suffocated with rage. “Undoubtedly it is diphtheria,” he roared. *‘You had botter drown your poor dear little Florence, or she will give diphtheria to the rest of the pups and you will get it from them,” and then he madé a rush for the door, leaving Miss Nina Van Zandt standing like a weeping Hebe, surrounded by hier pugs and refusing o be comforted.

PirTspURG, Pa., Jan. 24.—The explosion of a boiler occurred at Spang & Co.’s iron works at Etnaborough, near this city, this morning. The mill was badly wrecked and one man named Patterson was instautly killed. ‘The battery of four boilers which exploded this morning at Spang, Chalfort & Co.’s steol and iron _ works completely wrecked the bar mill department, besides killing one man and mortally injuring two others. The concussion was'so great that it shook houses for miles around, shattering windows in the vicinity of the mill, The ruin wrought in the mill by the explosion was complete. ‘The building was laid low and machinery broken and scattered in all directions, The damage will exceed $30,000, ‘The cause of the plosion is not known. There were very few men at work in the mill at the time. ‘The mill was the largest one in the city and was the Lirst one to use natural gas. William Carville, who was so badly seorched this morning, died about 11 o'clock. ‘Twelve persons were more or less injured, but none of the others will die, — Blamne Congratulates Davitt, New Yok, Jan, 24, —James (i.

Lo Fast Track Laying in Nebraska, A correspondent of the St. Louis he-Democrat, writing from Pawnee Neb., January 6, says: On the 1st of October last, the Chieago, Kansas & Nebraska raillway, which is a western ex- on of the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific railroad, commenced to lay track west of the river from St. Joseph, Mo., and have pushed it with lightning rapidity, until at this present writing they have completed in a most superd and substantial manner 250 miles of road ready for operation—one of the finest and substantial railroads west of the river. They are laying track at erent points, 18th of December last, at a point. between MceCords (Kan.) and (Neb.) Mr. Wm. O'Leary, fore- man of the track-laying foree, laying west on the northwest extension, and who 1s reputed by expert railroad men to be the most able track-layer in the west, laid 1n nine hours with a force of eighty- one men 10,310 feet of track, tied, spiked and lined, ready for trains to run 0 feet less than two miles. On the 4th inst., at s point four miles west of Dubois, Mr.0 O'Leary and his foree of me d 4,200 feet of track on an up-grade of thirty-live feet to the mile in two hours and forty minutes—that is 240 feet over three-fourths of a mile in complete run- ning order. The day’s work performed on th ay. complete and n running order, was 8,200 feet of track laid in five hours and forty minutes. This is the fast- est track-laying on record performed with a Harris machine or any other track- laying machine now in use.. To realize or comprehend the magnitude of this ex- tr m'nlinure‘ amount of work performed in such ashort pace of time nane but a practical and experience railrond mun can comprehend when he knows that it requires the following amount of material to lay a mile of track: Two thousand nine hundred and ninety-two cross-ties, 211,200 pounds of steel rails, 10,560 pounds of nish plates or angle bars, 12,500 pounds of spikes, 1,200 pounds of bolts and nuts and lifty pounds nut-locks and washers Thus Mr. O'Leary ean elaim the honor o the fastest track-laying on record. - It Was a Short Haul, azo Herald: A scedy-looking man got abonrd a Chicago & “Northwestern train at Racine the other day, The trs wis about two miles out of Racine the conductor came up and ask for his ticket “Ain't got any but am a railroad man myself.” “Where do you want to go? “Chieago. “Well,™ szid the good.natured con duetor, reaching for the bell rope, *1'li do the best I can for you ™ “Thanks, thanks, " We shounld stand together," “Yes.

Whither is the republic party drifung?

Ever with the people, ever voicing their sentiments, the Brg, Tam contident, will continue to be in the future, as it has been in the past, the Moses that will lead us into fairer political lands and compel all parties to deal justly with the people Such is your mission; it will suceeed—it cannot fail, A J.

Regret and Indignation, SCnuYLER, Neb., Jan. 23.—To the Editor of the Be The defe of Charles Van Wye received with deep regret and keen indignation by the people of Colfax county, who expressed their pref by giving him a handsome majority in the Fust election. The n:an who received 50,000 votes by the people of ths state, and it is sato to say, was the choice of 50,000 more, were it mot that in the turmoil of a general election local issues crowded out the sena- torial question, was_snubbed by a sub- servient, servile legislature. The sover- ple of Nebraska will not forget the insult. The friend of the soldier and soldiers’ widows is removed from the iigh place, where he 5o effectunily gave them his time and istance; the farm- ers and producers lost their best and truest friend in the halls of congress. ‘The railroad republicans in compact with railroad democrats and their hordes of Hessians, decapitated the champion of the people. The sacrifice is made, and oloch _ “can be satistied, The Omaha Raepublican, World and Lincoln Journal may now write trinmph- ant editorials, and, even if not read by the people, may have the gratification to see them copied by a few dependent and submissive country sheets. The poli- ticians may sncer and laugh at the de- feated leader and his firm adherents. But let them remember that 50,000 loyal voters and carnest workers ean neither be laughed or sneered out of existence, Let the Grand Army of the Republie drape their halls in ‘mourning; lower rour flags and banners ye Knigins of Labor; mourn ye tillers of the soil—for your advocate and friend has been shamefully betrayed and sold, as only Christ was sold by Judas. “Let him who sowes the serpent’s teeth not think 1o reap u joyous harvest.”” The avenging angel has already drawn his flaming sword. “John Brown" was dead, but his soul kept a marching on.

The Little Niece to Whom She Will Give Craig-y-Nos. New Orleans. Times-Domocrat interview with Mme. Carlo Patti, day some very interesting facts were gleaned in regard to tho loyely prima donn tti-Nicolini, as she loyes to call well as further information concerning her plans for the httle New Orleans nicce, who has so recently had a fairy-like future ovened, It scems that while Adelina was at the St. Charles hotel she took all the neces- sary steps for securing a protty danghter, A notary public was sent for and papers {rawn tp establishing her legal right to the little Carlina She has forn v adopted her brother Carlo’s child, mak- ing her, as far as law ¢1s concerned, her own. In this document she states that from this time forth, she, Adelina, is re- sponsible for the young girl's future, To the mother, “‘Im%wl‘ her daughter's own welfare is giving her only child up, Mme. Patti gives every assurance of her tender and loving care. She said that no expense should be spared to make Carlina acultivated,brilliaat woman. Already an accomplished lady is engaged to travel with the party as governess for the young lady. She will have masters to finish her in the languages and music. “‘But as for singing,” said the cele- brated cantatrice, turning and patting her niece retionately on the shoulder, “that I shall attend to myself. 1 intend, if you develop a voiee, to allow no onc to tram it save myself, Won't we have a good time, too, at Craig-y-nos, warbling iike two birds together!” There is one point, however, on which Mme. Patti insists, and that is that Car- lina shall give no thought to the stage. In fact, she stated positively that except with the greatest men and women of the profession her niece should have no in- tercourse. Possibly she fears the strong strain of artistic blood that must course through the young @irl’s veins. Another subject on which the diva spoke emphatically was that Carlina should never be foreed into a mercenary marriage. Her own painful experience with her aristocratic and titled husband, the Marqguis de Caux, would teach her to guard this newly acquired daughter against such shoals. The maiden 1s to be allowed to choose & man after her own lieart, no pressuro to be brought to bear save for her own good. When the young won her gracious aunt intends dower, the beautiful z-y-nos” to the bride. Who ean say in the face of this that one le in Wales does not ablishme: In an yester at now she had a whole promising, flourishing family. Her husband, Senor Nicolini, has four children—two daugh- ters who are satisfactorily married, one son in the French army, and another who zives great promise in the Comedie ancuis, These are both handsome, stalwart young fellows, who adore their lovely little stepmother, being as abject slayes of her caprice as the thousands who have known no greater delight than to lay their hearts and fortunes at her disdainful feet. Yesterday when the pretty little Italian girl went to the Locquet-Leroy institute to tell her teachers and schoolmates of the great good fortunc that lay before her, she lnughed and cried by turns. Throwing her arms about MissMoise's neck, she said of course she was gia happy, but the tears came from gros ceur she could not overcome. She has been a favorite with all her associates for the sweet winning ways that were her great- est attraction. And when she produced the four dozen big photographs her aunt had ordered taken thers were many who begeed earnestly for one. ‘The mother, who has so bravely sur- rendered her precious and only child for the good_that will ultimately come, will go to Europe later, and already the mother and daughter arc laying charming ans for the long days thiy will pass to- gether in the far-away Welsh palace, bl s PREHISTORIC AFRICA. ‘The Remarkable Ruins that Nave Been Found Among Savages. New York Sun: The readers of Mr. Hagzard's new story “She” will remem- ber that when hus little party of adven- turers passed in their boat from the sea into an East Afriean river, they found on the bank o wall ot stone that had evi- dently been a solidly constructed wharf in some remote period. In a foot note he justifics this conceit by alluding to the ruins of a very ancient city on_the coast at Kilwa, south of Zanziba It hanpens that 500 miles nearer the region in which he hus placed his story there are evi- dences of a past ci ation that arc comparably greater than those he men- tions. Some w: te ¢ south of the Zambesi river there is a large region extending from the sea nearly four hundred miles inland. and three hundred to four hundred miles toward the south, in which ruins are stantly being discovered, proving that in prehistoric times the country was in- habited by a civilized people. To-day only the rudest black tribes inhabit this land, save in a few places where th Portuguese have ablished stations. The little bee-hive huts of the natives are seen among massive ruins betokening a degree of architectural skill which rivals that of the ancient Aztecs. Our knowl- edge of these ruins is still far from per- fect. Our earli ords of travel and trade on the st African coast, extend- ing back to the beginning of the Chri; tian era, do not mention them. Only in T cars have the travels of Sclous, i Mauch, Baines, Mohr, and Neill revealed to us the monumental evidences this country contains. The coast town Sofain_is shown on all maps of Bast Africa. Near that town Carl Mauch found extensive ruins re- markable for their enduring nature and strange shapes. ‘There are partly walls, still thirty feet high and twelve feet wide at the base, bnlt of small hewn blocks of granite, In these walls, some- times fitteen to twenty feet from the ground, are imhedded one end of blocks of stone eighteen to twenty feet long, which wi evidently nsed to support gal- lerie e und there, built in the or standing by themselves, are round stone towers which evidently ro to heights of thirty o fifty fe Sim masses of masonry are found high as 450 mileg inland and a little north newr the coust It is mot who built ures.

All these ruins are surrounded by surface gold mines. It is believed that all this eouutry was occupied some time before the Christan era by a great colony, probably of Phwnician or and t its chief occupation was mining. Mr. O'Neill snys that these numerons rioins are nearly as well preserved those of ancient Egypt, and better than those of Assryia, Some day, no doubt, they will be systew ly Lheir tence shows conclusive a large region up to sava men and subject meny centuries of i peok in the ax known ancient positive these tr: yet struc hivologist in, gold wild beasts, £0 to the contro ts of civilization, Record, Jan.

More Outrageous Procecdings of the Lincoln Land Company. 22 McCooxk, Neb., Jan. 22.—[Correspond- ence of the Ber.]—~The Bre has had the coutago to make some throsts at the Lin- coln Land and_Townsite company, and yvery properly it scems to me, It is a needless concern which is odious to the residents along the line of the B. & M. and 1 find people everywhero praying for the advent of the Rock Island, The following points may be of interest Until recently the United States land oftice at McCook has been located in a building owned by the Townsite com- hany, which is situated on the top of the hill north of town. It has been a cher- ished scheme of the Townsite party, which of course includes all of the rail- road men and holders of passes, to force business up this hill. To this end they desired the retention of the land oflice on the top thereof as useful in attracting peoplo up there. They own not only the town as actually occupied, but the land surrounding the same on all sides for some distance. A daring maa named Rider acquired a tract outside this limit and began the erection of dwellings on the same, ‘The company immediately with- drow from market all of 1ts lots nearest him in order to isolate him and prevent the town from spreading towards Waost McCook as Rider's addition is eallod, lie intervening space is level ground and business naturally tends that way, hence the move to force it up the hill described is artilicial and needs constant foreing, The now officers at MeCook were ap- proached during last fall by the owners of a new brick building one square from the railroad station, with offers of con- venient quarters ani they soon came to terms, the place being not only more convenient but a much more comfortable building being obtained. As soon s this leaked out a commo- tion was observable among the Town- site crowd. They at once brought their field artillery to bear. and finding that it did not dislodge the enemy trotted out tho big guns. Phillips himself went up to McCook and offered to bu# a two- story brick building at the top of the hill if they would remain. Then the a - ment that the village would be ruined was brought to bear, and st resort hints of opposition to the confirmation of the register and receiver were dropped. But the register, having agreed with the anker mentioned, stood iirm, and the safe and oflice effects went down about the 20th of last month. Whereat the powers that have usually conducted things are wroth as much, I think, from the novelty of being defeated in one of their schemes as from any real damage 10 their interests by the outeome. It re- mains to be seen whether McCook will now drop into obseurity. Another item which ought to be venti- ated is this: A young man in one of the owns in the McCook district who is in he cmploy of the B. & M. began n con- test against an entry made by another employe. alleging fraud therein and pos- itiv rting his ability to fully prove his allegations.” A great commotion is at once stirred up, and presently the young man who brought the contest is adyised by his superior located at I smouth that unless he withdraws the contest ‘‘it may become necessary to dispense with his_services.”” He took the hint, not de- siring to lose his place. — Sick headache and ensation of op- pression and dullness in the head, are very commonly produced by mdigestion; morbid despondency, irritability and over sensitiveness of the nerves may, in a mujority of e: be traced to the ne cause.
